Blueberry Delight Ingredients
You will need:
- 1 individual sleeve graham crackers (9 crackers)
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
- 16 oz cool whip
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 (21 oz) cans blueberry pie filling
- Optional: white chocolate bar (to make curls for topping)
- Optional: ¼ cup chopped pecans (for topping)
Ingredient Substitutions:
OREO CRUST: Instead of a graham cracker crust you can make a cookie crust with crushed golden Oreos. Use a package (14.3 oz) of Oreos and add them whole (with filling) to the food processor with the butter.
TOPPINGS: This recipe is fun to customize with your favorite toppings. Some popular options are crushed graham crackers or golden Oreos, white chocolate chips, chopped pecans or walnuts, or fresh blueberries.
How to Make Blueberry Delight
This delicious dessert is made up of four layers: graham cracker and pecan crust, a cream cheese and cool whip mix, blueberry pie filling, and cool whip. It’s almost a no-bake dessert — the only time you’ll need your oven is to bake the crust in the first step.
PRO TIP: It’s highly recommended to make this dessert a day ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight. This will allow it to thicken and makes it easier to cut into slices.
FIRST LAYER:
STEP ONE: In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers and pecans until finely chopped. In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, ¼ cup sugar, and graham cracker mixture until the sugar is completely absorbed.
STEP TWO: Press the mixture into a 9 x 13 inch pan, creating an even layer on the bottom. Bake for 8 minutes and allow it to cool completely before starting the 2nd layer.
PRO TIP: Double check that your cookie crust is completely cool before going on to your second layer. It’s important that the crust is cooled so that the following layers set properly on top of it.
Second Layer
STEP THREE: In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, half of the cool whip (8 oz), and powdered sugar. Spread over the crust.
Third Layer
STEP FOUR: Spread blueberry pie filling on top of the cream cheese layer.
Fourth Layer
STEP FIVE: Spread remaining cool whip on top of the blueberry pie filling.
STEP SIX: Refrigerate for 3 – 4 hours, or overnight if possible. Top with white chocolate curls and chopped pecans before serving.
